The new Fiona Apple album Fetch The Bolt Cutters is her first since 2012. The LP has grabbed attention in the music press, and surely an album of the year contender. After a couple of listens, such unpredictability, such depth, such a quality record. |

The latest album, The Hurting Kind from the former member of The Civil Wars John Paul White is his finest solo work to date. White’s smooth vocals, and poetic song writing make The Hurting Kind a pleasurable listen. I have a lot of time for JPW. |
